Workout Wednesday

Posted by leah on Apr 30, 2008

Wednesday is workout day. I’ll post something to do with exercise on Wednesdays.

To get started, here’s a basic workout schedule anyone could use. I’m basing it on the guideline of 60 minutes of moderate exercise per day most days.

  • Monday - 30 minute walk or jog, 30 minute strength workout
  • Tuesday - 60 minute mind-body workout, like yoga or pilates
  • Wednesday - 60 minute cardio workout, could be a dance class, aerobics video, playing a sport like basketball, or as simple as another walk
  • Thursday - 30 minute walk or jog, 30 minute strength workout
  • Friday - 60 minute mind-body workout, like yoga or pilates
  • Saturday - 60 minute cardio workout
  • Sunday - recovery day, try to fit in a fun activity that gets you off the couch, but nothing too strenuous.

Thus is just an example of how you could schedule your exercise to get in about an hour a day. You don’t have to vary it this way, but this way you get some cardio almost every day, two strength workouts a week, and two mind-body workouts a week.

Don’t forget to spend a few minutes warming up and cooling down!
